Our Raleigh branch completed a code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation for homeowner Sheryl France in Greensboro, NC. The project was finished on April 18, 2024 by technician Cody Perry and included a dedicated charging circuit, protective devices, and a comprehensive safety check to ensure reliable, everyday charging.
This installation supports a 30A Level 2 EV charger and was planned to meet current electrical code and manufacturer requirements. We also advised the homeowner to apply with the local energy provider for any available post-install credits or rebates.
What we installed
- Dedicated EV charging circuit (Level 2, 30A) with a GFCI breaker for added protection and compliance in garage/indoor locations.
- Conduit: Approximately 25 feet of 3/4-inch PVC, securely mounted and routed for a clean, professional finish.
- Conductors: Approximately 30 feet of THHN #6 wiring, sized to support the circuit and minimize voltage drop for dependable performance.
- Whole-home surge protection installed at the main electrical panel to help safeguard sensitive electronics and appliances from power surges and lightning-related spikes.
- Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold visit for a top-to-bottom preventive inspection and testing of key life-safety and electrical systems.
Our standard service-call dispatch fee was applied and then credited toward the approved work, so the homeowner paid only for the completed installation and upgrades.
Safety and code-focused details
- GFCI protection at the breaker provides an added layer of safety for the EV circuit, supporting current electrical standards for charging locations.
- Proper conductor sizing with THHN wire and secure terminations helps reduce heat and ensures stable charging output.
- Neat, durable PVC conduit shields wiring from physical damage and keeps the run tidy and accessible for future service.
- Clear labeling and organization at the panel make the new circuit easy to identify for the homeowner and any future maintenance.
Every step of the installation was executed with reliability and long-term safety in mind, from routing and anchoring the conduit to torquing connections to manufacturer specifications.
Whole-home surge protection benefits
Surges can enter a home from utility fluctuations, nearby lightning, or large appliances switching on and off. By installing a panel-mounted surge protective device, excess voltage is diverted away from your home’s circuits, helping protect EV charging equipment, HVAC systems, refrigerators, networking gear, and more. This upgrade supports a healthier electrical system and can extend the life of sensitive electronics throughout the house.
Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold checklist
During the same visit, we completed the homeowner’s Gold-level safety check, which focuses on proactive prevention and code awareness:
- Tested and verified smoke and CO detectors for proper operation and placement guidance.
- Panel safety review, including signs of heat, corrosion, or moisture intrusion.
- Checked for loose, worn, or deteriorated connections and sealed connectors as needed.
- Discussed recent code updates relevant to the home’s electrical system.
- General safety check to spot potential hazards before they become issues.
Results for the homeowner
Sheryl now has a dependable, everyday Level 2 charging solution with protective devices in place for both the new circuit and the entire home. The installation looks clean, operates quietly, and supports consistent charging speeds that are far faster than a standard 120V outlet.
The homeowner praised our team in a post-service review, noting the professional workmanship and thorough safety approach.
